My favorite programme as a child

Today I'd like to tell you about a TV programme I watched as a child. The Powerpuff Girls is an American animated television series created by animator Craig McCracken for Cartoon Network. The show centers on Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, three girls with superpowers, as well as their father, the brainy scientist Professor Utonium, who all live in the fictional city of Townsville, USA. The girls are frequently called upon by the town's childlike and naive mayor to help fight nearby criminals using their powers. Cartoon Network featured the first Powerpuff Girls pilots in its animation showcase program What a Cartoon! in 1995 and 1996. The series made its official debut as a Cartoon Cartoon on November 18, 1998, with the final episode airing on March 25, 2005.

 In April 2005, plans for a Japanese anime version, Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z, were announced. The series premiered in Japan the following year, airing each Saturday from July 1 to December 23, 2006, and from January 6 to June 30, 2007. The series deviated from its American predecessor in terms of style, storyline, and characterization, but only minimally retained the essential themes that made the original a success. The characters feature three junior high school students Hyper Blossom, Rolling Bubbles, and Powered Buttercup as the three heroines. I personally think that this version of the series ruined it, because it wasn´t like the original at all. I loved the essence of the program, seeing the three little girls saving the city every time and fighting enemies like mojo jojo. I can´t say much about it because I watched it like twice, but the idea of the powerpuff girls being adolescent and so different from the original didn’t catch my attention.


Back to the original series, I liked them so much I woke up early to watch it. I even did a lot of drawings of them when I was little, my mom keeps them and she likes them a lot. I think the program enhanced the image of woman and I felt identified with them because I felt like I could do anything. My favorite was Blossom because she was the leader. I liked professor Utonium because he loved his little girls a lot and I feel like my father has something in common with him.

Last summer

Today I want to talk about what I think is the best picture I’ve ever taken. I took it last summer on a family trip to southern Chile and then we went through the “aduana” and went to Argentina. It was a very beautiful trip with very stunning landscapes. We were going back to Santiago, and I was in the car almost sleeping, and then I opened my eyes to see this. I did not think twice to take a picture. This place is called Villa Pehuenia and it´s very quiet and perfect for the family. Me and my family spent four days of our vacation in here and went to a lot of delightful restaurants. Our dad took us to the “7 lakes” trip but honestly I got bored, because all the lakes were the same, but even so it was lovely, and my father was enjoying it so much I was happy for him (because we always go to the beach due to my mom and he doesn´t like it). The people were friendly and the hotel was cozy (and had Wi-Fi which was very important of course). I had a really great time visiting and I hope I go back there someday soon.

My favourite piece of technology

In this entrance I want to talk about my favorite piece of technology. I think it’s my new iPad. I got it last summer when my parents and I found out that I got in the career I wanted, architecture in Universidad de Chile. Is very useful and I use it for a lot of things. When I need to draw from pictures I took of places, I bring it to university so I can work in here. I also use it to listen to music when I’m in the shower or in my room working on projects, to play games, to talk with friends on Facebook and not having to use my cellphone battery, to take pictures, among other stuff. It is very practical, and it is my first Apple product, but in cellphones I prefer android by far, and I would not change my hp computer either because I have sort of affection to it, I got it in my 15th birthday and I've put stickers in it and it´s beautiful. I hope they last long because I take very good care of them.
